Since we were just discussing this, I thought you all (especially @Torontonian and @L.A.B.) would enjoy this.

From a bike just put up for auction on BaT: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1975-norton-commando-8/

Layshaft Bearing Replacement (from bike currently up for auction)
 
Thanks. At least someone got around to replacing it before auction so the price should jump.

Gentlemen (and I use term loosely!):

I purpose the following motion: "Be it resolved that discussions on Layshaft bearings henceforth use "Replaced the Portuguese Piece of Shit!" at any and all opportunity. "

Is there a Second?

I replaced my Portuguese piece of shit way back in 1979 when I was outside in front of my house when I put it in gear and it went bang and a week later while under my house with the GB stripped down I got a double bang when some low life stole my roadster seat and kick starter lever.
 
This Norton just sold for $23,000 USD :oops:

Oops I mixed them up. The one with the colorful language on the layshaft bearing receipt is still up for sale. Regardless, that other bike sold for quite a bit considering the equipment..
 
Classic, can't spell, pays over US$46 for a bearing interstate that could have been bought locally most likely (back in 2011 and installed in 2018 ?) then writes some dribble on the receipt that has their name and address.

Ran as smooth as new from the day it was made in P̶o̶r̶c̶h̶e̶g̶a̶l̶ ̶P̶u̶e̶r̶t̶o̶ ̶R̶i̶c̶o̶ s̶t̶u̶p̶i̶d̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶i̶e̶n̶g̶n̶ ̶p̶l̶a̶c̶e̶ ̶w̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶e̶a̶t̶ ̶w̶o̶n̶k̶y̶ ̶f̶o̶o̶d̶ ̶ Portugal.
